Community Outreach at Kensington Community Centre

At MC2 Dental, we emphasize preventive dental care because oral health directly impacts the rest of your body's health. We teach our patients to care for their teeth to promote good oral health that is free from cavities, gum disease, tooth decay and more.

When Dr. Jui-Feng Ray Yu and I were invited to a dental community outreach opportunity by Master Michael Chiao, who hosts Chiao's Tai-Chi Club at various community centres in Vancouver, we immediately jumped on board to offer a dental panel session.

Topics discussed are 4 common problems encountered in oral health:

- Cavities

- Gum disease

- Oral cancer

- Occlusal (biting) problems

(The above topics will be discussed extensively in later blog posts. Stay tuned!)

With more than 60 members of the community in attendance, the panel session was very interactive and offered educational tips for everyone to take home and apply to their daily, routine dental care.

Dr. Jui-Feng Ray Yu and I thank the British Columbia Dental Association for providing us with materials to make the presentation a success. As well, thank you to Kensington Community Centre and the Chiao's Tai-Chi Club for inviting MC2 Dental this outreach opportunity.

Do you have questions when it comes to your oral health? Or, do you know a group in the community that would benefit from our outreach? Send me (Dr. Chi-Cheng Joey Yu) an email and let's connect.
